4 Credit Hours
Instructor: Jayna L. Ditty
The purpose of this course is to introduce the structure and fuction of cells, and how structure and function drives organismal physiology and diversity. By the end of this course, through lecture and laboratory exercises, students should have an understanding of the basic components of cells, how cells and organisms transfer genetic information to future generations, how communication is integral to cellular and organismal function, and how cells and organisms generate and process energy to drive physiological funtions. In addition, students will continue to improve skills for scientific inquiry through activities designed to increase familiarity with the scientific literature and science terminology, improve skills to design and critically analyze experiments, foster ability to work with a scientific team, and provide opportunities to improve scientific writing. Any one topic covered in this course has enough material for a course of its own. However, this course will give basic overview of a series of selected topics that are meant to introduce students to the vast field of cellular and organismal biology and the use of biological science in life. Prerequisite: Concurrent or previous enrollment in CHEM 112 or CHEM 115 and C- or above in BIOL 207

Bioinformatics is an emerging field in the sciences that arises from interactions between biology, biochemistry, and computational science. The goal of bioinformatics is to find ways to sort, compare, and decode nucleotide and protein sequences to indentify underlying similarities and patterns that are biologically relevant. This knowledge of bioinformatics along with the advent of genome sequencing has changed how scientists investigate problems. Instead of looking at how one gene or protein is affected by a particular problem, we now look at how the entire genome (genomics) or the entire organism (proteomics) responds. This course will introduce you to the tools that are available for these tupes of analyses and how the information gained from these tools is used to generate hypotheses in all areas of biological science. Four laboratory hours per week. Prerequiste: Any two 300-level biology course (one of which can be CHEM 440).

This course explores how the principles of evolutionary biology can be used to enhance our understanding of human disease and social psychology. In the first half of the course we will explore such topics as the evolution of virulence in pathogens, the persistence of fenetic diseases in human populations, the evolutionary basis of aging, and the disease consequences of mismatches between our curren environment and the environment in which humans evolved. In the second half of the course we will study the relationships between human social psychology and social interactions and will consider such topics as mate choice, parent-offspring raltions, selfishness and altruism, and the possible evolutionary basis of various mental illnesses. Four laboratory/recitation hours per week. Prerequisites: A minimum grade of C- in BIOL 209; any 300-level BIOL course.

Sustainable agriculture and the local food movement are rapidly transforming urban areas in the United States. Unfortunately, there are many economic and social barriers that keep urban agriculture from flourishing. A key step toward the establishment of a thriving local agricultural system is research aimed at identifying urban farming practices that maximize yields while minimizing environmental impacts. This 400-level class will be one of the nation's first courses focused exclusively on the biology of urban agriculture. One goal for the class will be to create a book proposal on this topic. A second goal will be to conduct semester-long student driven research project on topics ranging from composting and greenhouse production to post-harvest processing, storage, and distribution. We will also interact with several community leaders and urban farmers to identify pressing research needs and potential collaborative opportunities.
Pre-requisites: A minimum grade of C- in BIOL 209 and any 300-level class or permission of instructor.

If we are to understand how behavior is guided by environmental cues, we must first understand how sensory information about the world is represented and processed in brain. In this seminar-style course, we will examine the neural organization of sensory systems, particularly the organization of cortical structures. We will first explore how various organizational strategies are used in different sensory modalities is integrated in higher-order cortical areas, and how this integration ultimately influences behavior.

The purpose of this course is to introduce the structure and fuction of cells, and how structure and function drives organismal physiology and diversity. By the end of this course, through lecture and laboratory exercises, students should have an understanding of the basic components of cells, how cells and organisms transfer genetic information to future generations, how communication is integral to cellular and organismal function, and how cells and organisms generate and process energy to drive physiological funtions. In addition, students will continue to improve skills for scientific inquiry through activities designed to increase familiarity with the scientific literature and science terminology, improve skills to design and critically analyze experiments, foster ability to work with a scientific team, and provide opportunities to improve scientific writing. Any one topic covered in this course has enough material for a course of its own. However, this course will give basic overview of a series of selected topics that are meant to introduce students to the vast field of cellular and organismal biology and the use of biological science in life.

This course will cover the fundamental biology involved with five environmental issues at the global scale: climate change, excessive nutrient loading into ecosystems, agricultural production, chemical contaminants, and loss of biodiversity. Specific biological principles to be covered include energy and nutrient mass balance by organisms and ecosystems, homeostasis and organismal physiology, and population dyanmics and conservation biology. Prerequisite: C- or better in BIOL 208
